SUBJECT:
Title
Request to increase current Rice Tire Company contract.
Body
EXPLANATION AND SUMMARY:
Fairfax County established contract, RQ09-109912-12A-C with three vendors: Alban Tire Corporation, McCarthy Tires and Donald B. Rice Tire Company to buy car, truck, off-road equipment and recap tires. Riding the Fairfax contract, Vienna then established a blanket purchase order, BL 140017 with McCarthy Tires and BL 140115 with Donald B. Rice Tire Company.
Individual tire prices changed with the recent Fairfax County tire contract amendment and it is now financially advantageous to buy more tires from D.B. Rice. Public Works has reduced the blanket purchase order with McCarthy Tires by $9,000 and requests approval to spend up to an additional $10,000 with D.B. Rice. We currently have over $11,000 unobligated in account 10413-46031.
Departmental Recommendation: Approve increase in BL 140115.
Finance Recommendation: Recommend approval.
Purchasing Recommendation: The Fairfax County Contract is current and rideable.
Town Attorney Recommendation: The Town may ride the Fairfax County contract for the proposed purchase and the Town Council may authorize the expenditure of funds in its discretion.
Town Manager's Recommendation: I recommend the Town Council approve the increase of $10,000 to BL 140115 with Donald B. Rice Tire Company as presented.
Cost and Financing: $9,000.00
Account Number: 10413-46031
